Finally (:

next week my animation course will start. Im excited

It has been a long time since I updated my journal here, thats why I got a livejournal. But anyway, I've been working really hard in school, so I kinda forgot about all my own little projects going on. But my new years resolution is to get all my little projects done, and then I might have an exposition again with two friends of mine.
This Semester we've been working on a crazy deadline for a magazine about doodles. We have to silkscreen all our illustrations, so it's a crazy mess with all our black&white images. I might upload some work. Next semester I'll be following an animation minor in stead of working on illustration. I'm really looking forward, and I'm so glad I'm one of the 16 people that made it in to that minor, since it got really popular.
Also... I've been looking around for art college's abroad, because next year I want to follow one semester abroad (2009), to learn new things etc. If anybody has any tips or anything. Let me know. I would prefer to do an exchange, so I can stay in somebodys dorm, and that person can stay in my 'dorm'-room.
Keep up the good work (:

Hi there. I've been over-producing lately. I finished school for this year. I got some good grades and I'm accepted to the illustration class second year, yay! For the rest I've been working on a ton of stuff. Some of it to show you as well. But it would be a lot nicer if you come visit my first (!) exposition (ever) @ Zeeland, The Netherlands. I"ll be joining de kunstschouw (kunstschouw.nl). So come and visit me during one of those 8 days (june 16th till june 24th). I'll be having some tshirts, prints on canvas, 100 so called 'ugly portraits' (project is done!) and more! I'm excited, but also a little scared. More news: I"m one of the 25 finalists @ freshcotton.nl with one of my tshirtdesigns. Which is pretty awesome I think. My tshirt will be shown at the streetlab festival @ Amsterdam (streetlab.nl), and I'm still running to become one of the best 3.
After I'm done working on all my artstuff, I'll be making a Eurotrip, and visit lots of good stuff/musea. Anybody any tips which musea to visit in Paris-Barcelona-Belgium and Berlin? Or Chicago? I'll be there in August as well (:

I hope you all have a great summer.

Slowly I start figuring out how everything works around here I hope to upload a lot of newwork in two weeks. Because Im working on a ton of stuff at the same time. My own .com website should be on line, pretty soon. Which is one of them.. &Im working for my expo I'm having in june with two friends. And then there is school... Next week I'll be having grading, so all my work should be done by then. So new work to upload. Im excited about the selfportret-pictures I had to make for this one class, about a girl I didnt know at all. I think they turned out really well so far. Im also working on a lot of tshirt desings, for my expo as well. And then there is journalling. I hope to make some pieces worth uploading. Ah well, maybe.. Maybe not
